An absolute must in Galway - Gerry was a fantastic host! We were treated to some incredible meals and incredible history. This went way beyond food tours I’ve been on in the past where you get a small bite at each place. You truly don’t leave hungry! I would highly recommend this tour and Gerry as a guide.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This is a fabulous tour and a must do on any itinerary. Our guide, Gerry, was really great company and the time flew by. His knowledge of Galway and his affable nature made the day feel like we were hanging out with an old friend. The food was superb. The tour took the theme of starter, main. dessert and an Irish coffee to round things off. I really recommend this tour- I’ve been to Galway several times and hadn’t eaten in any of these venues before. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of fun! - Gerry took us on a comprehensive walking tour of Galway explaining the history and culture along the way. We stopped at several pubs and sampled soup, entree and Irish Coffee with a quick stop before the coffee for a Murphy’s ice cream. I highly recommend this tour if your stay in Galway is limited and you want to get the highlights. Gerry’s recommendations for pubs featuring live Irish music were spot on!

Highly recommend! - My husband and I are spending a week in Galway and were fortunate enough to go on the Tour and Taste Galway tour today! Gerry was very personable, knowledgeable and professional all at the same time. We had wonderful conversations and the experience was superb. We learned a lot about Galway's history and felt very welcomed. We had the opportunity to try a variety of local food and drink! It was truly a fantastic experience and have already recommended it to others we have come accross in our adventure. Come with your appetite!! Highly recommend this experience as it was personable and we didnt feel as we were just another number.
